TABEX is a look up and interpolation function. In this case you define CO2
as input, the model will search CO2X and find the equivalent CO2Y value to
calculate PCO2 as output. 10 means that there are 10 (x,y) pairs.
TABEX is defined as a separate subroutine in CERES. It is very commonly
used as a way to extract data from response functions for all the DSSAT crop
models.
I hope that this helps.

Gerrit
